Between eleven and twelve o'clock
Wednesday night of last week, fire
was discovered in the barn of the

was a fierce gale blowing at the time
and fears were entertained that the
fire might communicate with the ad
joining building and a dreadful con
flagration result. The gentlemen who
had made the discovery spread the
alarm as quickly as possible and they
set to work to conquer the flames
which had gained some headway by
this time. After quick work they
succeeded in getting control and soon
had the flames extinguished.

A TRIBUTE TO JUDOr ELWELL,
FROM HIS OLD PASTOR.
Mil Dear Mr. Editor:--
The word ' old " in the remorseless
flight of time is to me now a stern
reality, but I use the term rather in
reference to those days now long past,
the days before the war, when your
beloved father was in the vigor of his
manhood, when I was - privileged to
minister in Towanda to the congrega
tion of the Episcopal Church which
he attended. I also was young, and
this was my first charge as Rector
And among the privileges of my life
upon which I look back with intense
satisfaction and interest, an interest
which revolving years have in
tensified rather than diminished,
is the circumstance that my lot
was cast in Northern Pennsylvania to
minister in Towanda to that loving
and beloved congregation. I see
before me now the foims of Elwell,
Wilmot, Mercur, Adams, Baird and
Ward as they occupied their scats in
the old wooden building at the north
ern entrance of the town, and listened
attentively to the preacher's words.
There were others of strong, and
marked personality. Overton, Patrick
and several to whom allusion is made
in the noble tribute to your father's
m;mory in the paper which you sent
me, whom I had the piivilege ot
regarding as my personal friends.
Before the war the fires of political
animosity raged fiercely and To
wanda, from the single fact of its
containing men of strong convictions
and conspicuous ability, fed the flame,
but the fires of controversy at least on
the old lines are burnt out and the
silence of the tomb broods over the
sepulchres of the dead giants.
I here is something however which
does not die and which we willingly
will not let die it is the memory of
the quiet virtues which made the
names of Elwell and Mercur and
others so dear to those who knew
them.
There are a few things which go to
make up rounded character of a noble
Judge besides legal attainments, strict
justice and keen discrimination ; these
are gentleness, kindness and goodness
'the ornament of a meek and
quiet spirit which is in the sight of
God of great price," These are
things of which account will be taken
at that bar before which we all must
appear. These are the imperishable
gifts which live on as a precious legacy
to one's children, to district and to
nation when the hand has lost its
cunning. And these were the gifts
and graces which filled out the noble,
able, amiable character of Judge
Elwell. They seem like the golden
sheen of the setting sun at the close
of day in Indian summer as it lights
up the yellow corn and the ripened
fruit
I could write much more, but
where the need ? To the bar of the
Judicial District over which he pre
sided with so much dignity for more
than a quarter of a century he has
left an imperishable legacy. His
colleagues know his worth and they
have put on record their appreciation.
His name will be entered upon the roll
of those philanthropists who with Sydney
Smith in England have succeeded in
blotting out some of the terrible
penalties for slight offenses which
disgraced the penal code at the be
ginning of the century. The members
of this great commonwealth should
never forget his service to humanity
in his single handed effort, and com
plete success to abolish imprisonment
for debt. And in these days of strikes
when labor and capital seem ever
ready to plunge into an unnatural
war, how invaluable tne labors of such
a Judge as Elwell in 187 1, who knew
no " respect of persons " apart from
the simple merits of the case. And
last but by no means least now that
the summing up is filea in the Court
of last Appeal, what a memory and
what a motive he has left to his
bereaved family, to surrowing friends,
to that dear congregation amone
wnom ne worsnipped, to his own
i . ...
church, to Christians of every name,
to those who are strangers and aliens
to the love of Christ, to the comma
nity generally, to one and all, to follow
him as he followed his Lord.

Bhot a Gray Fox.
James II. Mercer, is not only a
sure shot with his gun, but a prophet
as well. Last Saturday morning in
company with William Bodirie he went
fox hunting on the river hill, and
when he started he told his friends he
would bring home a gray fox. They
didn't believe him but about four
o'clock in the alternoon he came into
town with Reynard over his shoulder.
It was a fine specimen, and gave the
hunters a fine chase.

BURQLAR3 AT WORK.
For several weeks past a gang of
thieves have been operating in the
adjoining towns and last Saturday
night several houses in this place
were visited by these nocturnal visi
tors, and although they did not suc
ceed in carrying away a great amount
of properly, they did succeed in throw
mg the town into consternation. The
operations were commenced Saturday
night and continued all through the
night and only ceased then because
of the dawning of the day. The
houses entered included those of M.
E. Wagenhurst, W. H. Slate, L. E.
Waller, C W. Miller, Thos. Vannatta
Mrs. I. S. Kuhn, Dr. M. J. Hess,
Dr. F. W. Redeker, G. W. Keiter,
Thos. Wayne, Jos. Sharpless. 1
In every instance the entrance was
effected by forcing open windows on
the first floor, and the entire lower
part of the house was thoroughly
searched. In no case excepting at
the residence of M. E. Wagenhurst,
did they go on the second floor. At
this place, after lighting the parlor
lamp they went up stairs and secured
a pocketbook but fottunately for the
owners and unfortunate lor them it
was empty. They also ate a lot of
oysters that Mrs. Wagenhurst had in
tended for their Sunday dinner. At L.
E. Waller's, after eating what they
had partly prepared for their breakfast
they left, after securing a pair of
Opera glasses. Their search through
the residence of W. H. Slate failed to
afford them anything they apparently
desired, and the residence of C. W.
Miller disclosed the same state of
affairs, having been there, but taking
nothing with them. They entered the
residence of Dr. Hess on Fifth Street
in the same manner, but Sam Hess
who had just returned from "Som
where " heard them, gay the alarm
ana they ltft fflln&ut taking anything.
Dr. Kedeker mourns the loss of an
overcoat, and several small articles.
It was at Mrs. Kuhn's however where
they made the best haul, securing a
silver cake dish, spoons and other
articles of silver ware, which were
however subsequently found in Mr.
Wayne's barn on West Main Street.
It is supposed that daylight over
took them and they used the first
place they came to in which to store
the stolen goods. At Thomas Van-
nattas on Iron Street they stole two
razors. At the residence of Geo. W.
Keiter they secured silver knives,
forks and spoons and were heard by
the hired girl who thinking she had
over slept herself came down stairs
but found no one m the house. The
house of Joseph Sharpless was enter
ed between six and seven o'clock
Sunday morning and two pairs of
spectacles taken. This ended the
marauding. The crime evidently was
not committed by professionals, but
by tramps or sneak thieves. Several
parties who saw whom they allege
was the burglar say, that it was only
one man who did the plundering.
